I now think Hegel is irreducibly doing a metaphysics of some sort, and that the neopragmatist “nonmetaphysical” readers are (1) missing something, (2) basing their claims on nonsystematic examples Hegel gives, and (3) frequently bending these examples and statements surrounding them in order to fit the “Kantian” interpretation. This doesn’t mean they don’t write a lot of good stuff, but I think overall the interpretation is not true to the text.

i learned calculus in high school; thousands of years of mathematical progress was condensed down into a few years.

What exactly do you think this disanalogy illustrates? You learned calculus after ~10 years of mathematical education, and many people do not take a class as advanced as calculus in high school. It seems to me that if we’re looking for ways that we “easily teach people... information” (though I’d like to hold out a reservation that philosophy, or even mathematics for that matter, is primarily information and that it’s primarily information that we teach in these subjects), it’s quite impressive that a student can get a relatively comprehensive philosophy education in a four year bachelor’s degree, given that college is likely the first time they will have encountered the subject. It seems like, contra your suspicion, we have quite good ways of teaching philosophy. The problem is that we don’t teach it in the widespread way that begins early which we do with something like mathematics.

I’m not sure how much this helps, as there seem to be two questions at stake which are confused in your question: (1) are we able to teach philosophy well and do we do so? (2) is this education made accessible, at what stage and context of schooling, and what social conditions determine this accessibility or inaccessibility.

Honestly I agree with you here but I usually see them listed as well. I don’t think what they’re doing is really the same thing as the tradition that comes to be taken as aesthetics from Baumgarten and then Kant. Likewise, Hegel isn’t doing aesthetics—and self-admittedly he says so—but Hegel and the approaches by his inheritors are frequently also considered in the “field of” aesthetics.

To be fair, she probably isn't here legally anymore. The article itself notes that her DACA registration in 2015 was good for two years, and inlcuded a renewal provision for another two years which she filed in 2017. If she signed up close to the original DACA opening (Feb. 18, 2015), her term is expired.

In a statement, an ICE official said “Hincapie-Rendon was encountered as part of a targeted enforcement action” and “upon additional review and verification” of her DACA status, the agency “exercised its discretionary authority and rescinded its order of supervision.”

Honestly, I haven’t watched it in a while and I’ve never read Émile cover to cover carefully; I’m not sure. Try to make a careful outline before you write. That’ll tell you if there’s enough to talk about.
